'Beyond, both the Old World, and the New': Authority and Knowledge in the works of Francis Bacon, with special reference to the New Atlantis
No full textPhDThis study investigates the role of authority in the works of Francis Bacon,
arguing that the issue of authority provides not only an interpretation of New
Atlantis, but an important structural component of his body of works. From
the first manifestation of his philosophical project to his last works of natural
history, authority is an all-pervasive issue - the authority of nature, of
scripture, of the named author, and how authority functions in the
dissemination of natural knowledge. Chapter one argues that the publication
of New Atlantis alongside Sylva sylvarum in 1626/7 was more the result of
William Rawley's need to assert his own authority as the protector and
disseminator of Bacon's textual legacy than an appreciation of the work's own
qualities. Chapter two considers Bacon's views of history and time,
suggesting that Bacon not only conceived of a new, progressive mode of
historical time which would allow for the assertion of a textual authority based
on the records of a civilisation unbroken by the vicissitudes of time, but that
he figured these theories in New Atlantis. Chapter three argues that Bacon
used theology both as defence and imperative to his intellectual programme,
while his attempt to move beyond the deterministic, Calvinist world-view to
allow for multiple possible futures, or `chance': Bacon could then present
experiment as the way of eliminating chance, in order to accelerate the rate of
new discovery. Chapter four investigates Bacon's manipulations of textual
authority, from the early rehearsals of the Instauratio magna to the
performance of reliability in print in Sylva sylvarum. Finally, the afterword
seeks to suggest that the New Atlantis hinges on the issues of authority with
which Bacon engaged throughout his career and writings: in the issue of
authority, Francis Bacon found the beginning and the end of his philosophy

Bacon : la nouvelle Atlantide
No full text178 p., ref. bib. : 4 p.1/2Francis Bacon (1560-1626), philosophe et homme politique, auteur de Du progrès et de la promotion des savoirs et du Novum Organum, laissa à sa mort une Atlantide inachevée, que son chapelain s'empressa de publier. La Nouvelle Atlantide : le rêve d'une société par et pour la science ; le premier tracé - utopique - de ce qu'on nommera plus tard l'Etat-providence ; une île des mers du Sud où se combinent les souvenirs de l'Ancien Testament et le projet d'une épistémologie neuve que Bacon cherchait à promouvoir ; une description de parcs zoologiques qui semble inaugurer la science-fiction ; une fête de la Famille où l'on vénère un père prolifique tandis que la mère reste cachée... Le philosophe qui avait pensé une organisation collective de la recherche en déclinerait ici les attendus éthiques, politiques et surtout imaginaires

"Nuova Atlantide", di Francis Bacon
No full textLa leggenda della misteriosa Atlantide ha ispirato a Francis Bacon questo romanzo utopico. Scritto nel 1626 ma pubblicato postumo, la Nuova Atlantide rappresenta il suo pensiero in forma narrativa. Se Platone aveva messo i filosofi a capo della sua Repubblica e Campanella aveva investito un sacerdote della stessa responsabilità nella Città del Sole, Bacon ribalta quell’universo utopico: a guidare il suo Stato ideale sono gli scienziati, portatori di un sapere pratico, capace di trasformare la realtà.
Nella ricerca di una società ideale e perfetta, quindi, Bacon assegna al metodo sperimentale il compito inedito, e per l’epoca rivoluzionario, di far progredire l’intera umanità verso il bene. Tra esperimenti prodigiosamente anticipatori e fratellanza universale, gli abitanti della misteriosa isola sono la prima raffigurazione letteraria della nuova epoca scientifica
